Poor practice and bad experience

Very bad practice skills . Even worse with communication will leave you waiting in the court all day . Also, he will try to sleep with every female that comes in his office . Very sneaky and a liar, he has binoculars in his office . To look at the condos that are behind his office . Very creepy! He’s... all about money, he doesn’t work hard for you at all . I even wrote the bar association about his work ethic and the way my family was treated . The other lawyer that works with him lies also . His office is full of alcohol, he drinks constantly. I would not let him represent my pet dog .

Michael slider Best lawyer

Mr Michael slider is the best lawyer around I have worked with him many times and every time that I have worked with him he has always got he job done. Mr slider is very knowledgeable and he loves what he does for a living and not like these other lawyers who only does it for the money. When you have... a lawyer or anybody that does their job from the heart you will always win no matter what the odds that you’re facing in life. If you go to any other lawyer besides Mr slider you will be cheating your self and what you deserve called justice.

We are sorry you feel this way. When a person has been ordered by a judge to stay away from a particular person or place due to the nature of the case, there are proper ways to have the presiding judge reverse course. Once we are retained and sign on to a case we can speak to the judge on your behalf. If you are still working with a court appointed attorney, then we were not on your case at that time.

Should have stuck with state provided attorney.

I went with Mr Slider on a felony drug charge after deciding to go to trial instead of taking probation which was offered to me with a court appointed attorney. I made installment payments every month, expecting progress on the case. Instead, every time I went to see the judge Mr. Slider or his a...ssociate would end up coming in at the very last minute with an excuse and end up resetting the court date for the next month. During this time I was having to report for UAs and court appearances on avg 4-5 times a month, having to travel 25 miles while Mr. Slider simply collected my check and came in for no more than 5 min a month. I got fed up with this arrangement after about 5 months and decided I was going to take the probation so I could enter treatment. The plan was to set it up where the judge would allow me to enter a treatment program of my choice after startan probation. Mr. Sliders associate ( Ms. Cavita I believe) showed up looking unprofessional, wearing pink sneakers and was in my opinoon timid about approaching the judge about the arrangement. She pressured me to set up the rehab with my probation officer and to go ahead and sign for 2 years of probation. At this point I had been stressing about this for nearly 5 months, was unable to work and getting behind on my mortgage so I didn't want to reset for another month and ended up signing for probation. Another 4 months later, after struggling with my probation officer to enters rehab I called Ms. Cavita to help me get into the program I originally wanted to enter as I was being forced to see the judge to persuade him for my option of treatmentb after my probation officer suggested a 9 month in jail treatment program. She basically told me she couldn't help. Fortunately the court attorney had my back and nearly a year after being arrested I finally got into treatment. I was able to save my house and have now been sober for nearly a year ( with no help from Mr. Slider and his associate). I strongly advise you choose another attorney as I made the mistake of going cheap and got swindled. Lost a lot of time and money through this poor decision.
